Absolutely agree, but we've had several people getting in touch who have run zines for some time and want to develop into something bigger with wider circulation.<br />

Though... i could be wrong.... but then you should be asking yourself if it is a ZINE that you are doing?<br/>

Well, I hesitated responding to this, because I realize it really wasn't asking for "my" opinion, and I should stay out of it. But since I'm trying to kill a little time before I head into town, I thought I'd take a few potshots.<br />
<br />
First, as I have for decades, I had the usual "luddite" negative visceral reaction. That doesn't mean I'm right about that, or I should have. Lately I've been trying to take a big breath and either walk away or *try* to meet the techno-enthusiasts half-way.<br />

<br />
I don't want to be the mean old "language police", but I wonder why Internetter/technophiles insist on calling e-zines, zines? All they've got to do is put a little e-dash in front to clarify what they're talking about, and avoid ignoring, distorting and looking through hundreds of years of ZINE history and culture. A similar problem I have is with using "cut-n-paste" for "image and text transfer". It muddies the waters and "takes over", CO-OPTS another culture's language. I guess that sounds overdramatic and peevish, but I had to get it out.<br />
<br />
I doubt that doing all this application or whatever you're supposed to call it would be "easy" at all for me, but hey, maybe I'm dumb. There're also funner, more productive and more meaningful things I'd like to do, but to each his own. Further, I wonder if all this is THAT much different from the 2 billion and other ways you can put words and images on a computer screen and isn't just the usual mega-hype for some infinitely trivial "innovation". But then I admit I may not be "getting it".<br />
<br />
I've seen iPads, iPods, iPhones, etc. ad infinitum on TV and seen them demonstrated and to the limited extent I even understand them I've beem monumentally underwhelmed. I'm still trying to "get the point" of them all.<br />
<br />
50 to 90 per cent of computer jargon is still techno-greek to me and I have only the vaguest idea of what this, that or the other tech term means. I still don't know what "RSS" is all about, and I've tried reading about it on the net, but that just led to more confusion. Now, none of this is anybody's fault or responsibility but my own. I'm just putting it out there.<br />
<br />
So, wanted or not, that's one "luddite", "techno-imbecile" response, for what it's worth, and I'm not claiming it's much. You're not just advertising,…tag:wemakezines.ning.com,2010-06-12:2288844:Comment:1385222010-06-12T07:03:10.040ZDan Chttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/Dan43
You're not just advertising, you're asking for free market research - AWESOME!<br />
<br />
That was sarcastic, because it's pretty clear you are misusing these discussion forums with this thinly guised post, but this service does actually seem like something interesting I might consider trying, and that is sincere.
